We must analyze literacy in general and in particular the so-called digital literacy as a sociocultural problem linked to the formation of individuals. Every social or technological change has always demanded a profound transformation from humanity, due to the vertiginous advances that have occurred; Throughout history, man has seen the need to transform some practices. Reading has been one of the fundamental axes because the human being has required addressing and being able to face the challenges facing globalization and information technologies. The deep and rapid transformations in all fields of modern life are something that characterizes the world in which we live. The new forms of communication have accelerated, a revolution of wide scope that revolves around the transformation of the mechanisms of production, diffusion and access to information, as well as in the expressive and representative languages of culture and knowledge. In universities, they must identify the areas that need to be strengthened to support students in carrying out the readings responsibly.

Intensive Development

The intensive development of information technologies, web resources and literature, Internet portals and Internet publications dictate the demand for small-scale prose genres. New literary trends are reflected in Kazakh national prose in the books of the writer, publicist, screenwriter Didar Amantay. The ecology of consciousness, the modern life of the city, the philosophical issues of life are the current topics of his prose and essay writing. As a representative of postmodernism and poststructuralism, Amantay combines elements of different styles and trends of the past in his work, often with an ironic effect, develops a philosophical direction and a critical analysis of culture and society. A characteristic feature of his style of narration is that the writer freely moves from the comparison of images and motives in the national literatures of the world to the analysis of the Kazakh one, addressing his works of art to an exquisite, intellectual reader.

The World

This chapter shows how interconnections do exist within the same sector and how ICTs can provide useful coordinating functions in the sector of health care. This is based on how e-health and other technological variants have been developing around the world and how these are promoting further access to the overall chain of health care. An overall quantitative assessment of the relationships between variables related to health and independent variables representing ICTs are established using multiple regression. The attained results show that statistically significant relationships do globally exist between health improvements and further access to information technologies. These relationships are promising for ensuring further use of advanced technologies in the area of health care in general. While there are variations between countries, the great inputs from advanced technologies in health care appear to be globally promising. Coordination between different players in this area is in the process of showing enhanced outputs at the level of health care and its related channels.

German Philosopher

Following World War II, the German philosopher Martin Heidegger offered one of the most potent criticisms of technology and modern life. His nightmare is a world whose essence has been reduced to the functional equivalent of “a giant gasoline station, an energy source for modern technology and industry. This relation of man to the world [is] in principle a technical one . . . . [It is] altogether alien to former ages and histories.” For Heidegger, the problem is not technology itself, but the technical mode of thinking that has accompanied it. Such a viewpoint of the world is a useful paradigm to consider humanity’s relationship to law in the current information environment, which is increasingly technical in Heidegger’s sense of the term.Heidegger’s warning that a technical approach to thinking about the world obscures its true essence is directly applicable to the effects of current (as well as former) information technologies that provide access to law. While technology enhances accessibility and utility of law, technology also obscures law’s fundamental grounding in experience and language, thereby eviscerating its transformative power. The paper explains the nature of Heidegger’s criticisms of technology and modern life and examines the appropriateness of their application to the current information environment, especially in light of Heidegger’s early affiliation with Nazism and his subsequent denunciation of technologicism and “technological thinking.” The paper applies Heidegger’s criticisms to the modern legal information environment with particular reference to application of technology to subjugate the law to the status of an “information resource” devoted to various ends. Finally, the paper considers the implications for law librarianship in the current information environment.This article first appeared in 99 Law Library Journal 285-305 (2007) as part of "Symposium: Legal Information and the Development of American Law: Further Thinking about the Thoughts of Robert C. Berring."

In the information society the status of information is changing: this main value of global civilization becomes an important resource of socio- economic, technological and cultural development. The rapid development of virtual technologies and the growing number of Internet users in Ukraine and in the world causes the new challenges to communication of each organization. The book publishers are also obliged to respond to these processes. However, the works devoted directly to publishers’ communication in the modern media space are still lacking in Ukraine. The objective of the article is to clarify peculiarities and conditions of the activities of Ukrainian book publishers in today’s media space which is an important issue today. It is analyzed the literature and sources on this issue and it is ascertained the theoretical and practical possibilities to take into account the trends in the world of modern media in the PR-activity of book publishers. Also the prospects for further scientific study and practical use of PR-communications in the activity of publishers are determined. The analysis of current changes in the modern information space allows us to trace the general tendencies: the new subject and object areas are formed; the number of subjects is expanded; the new formats of interaction within the system of communications of the organization and in society as a whole are created. That means that publishing house’s PR-communications are complicated by the emergence of new elements, such as active audience, social networks as communication channels, promotions on the Internet and others. PR communication in the Internet space is the most effective and inexpensive tool for interaction of publishers with active audiences. Thus, the activation of PR communication in the modern media space is associated with the emergence of the latest information technologies, online media as well as development of Internet. The use of online channels of Internet for communication with the target audience of publishing organizations has certain advantages over traditional media. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the information saturation of media space, which complicates the way of PR-messages of book publishers to the reader.

Sense Of Justice

Freedom and Justice have always been challenged. Since the most remote times, and in the most varied circumstances of places and people, human beings have tried to clarify and put into practice these two controversial concepts. Freedom and Justice, in effect, are words, but also dreams, desires and practices that, not being imperfect, are less sublime and ambitious. Reflecting on them on the basis of an ethics of development and socioenvironmental sustainability is still a great challenge in our contemporaneity. This book is born from the need that we all have to reflect, understand what our role is in relation to the OTHER, understood as the other as Environment. Doing this from such disparate areas and at the same time as current as Economics, Philosophy and Ecology, is still a great opportunity to discuss complexity, transdisciplinarity and the inclusion of diverse themes, but which all converge in the Human Being and its relationship with the world. Endowing human beings with Freedom and a sense of Justice means RESPONSIBILITY. To be free and to want a better and fairer world is to endow our existence with meaning and meaning. Agency, autonomy, functioning, dignity, rights, are capacities that must be leveraged individually and collectively for authentic development to exist. Development as Freedom is a valid proposal for thinking about a socio-environmental rationality that interferes in the controversial relations between economics, ethics and the environment.
